Electric Pressure Washer - 160 BAR

Product Information

Thanks to how most of the product is already assembled in the box , this pressure washer impresses from the get-go. You simply need to connect up the lance, gun, and hose before you’re ready to get started – most other models require you to attach handles, wheels, reels, and more.

As a budget machine, this pressure washer is best suited to semi-frequent use. It may not be the best pressure washer if you’re looking for something you can use daily. Nevertheless, it’s an excellent machine that will clean the car, or even the patio, much faster than methods that don’t involve pressure washers.

Sustainability that helps mankind and the environment

Thanks to the brand’s solid reputation, many people immediately turn to Karcher when looking for a new pressure washer. However, how do you choose between all of the different Karcher models available? And how does the Karcher K5 Power Control Car & Home Pressure Washer compare to the rest? That’s what I set out to find out… The E160 includes a 10 mete Ultraflex hose for increased flexibility & protection, which is easily reeled in & stored using the integrated hose reel, while telescopic handle ensures optimal storage & mobilty.

Karcher's new Xpert range sits between their 'Home and Garden' and 'Professional’ range. The Xpert models are designed to meet the demands of daily use in a commercial environment or heavy duty use in a domestic environment. When it comes to car cleaning, look for a lower pressure setting of around 80 bar . Using as low a pressure as possible will avoid damaging paintwork and causing rust.

SHIPPING SUMMARY

Anyone who wants to buy a pressure washer always asks the same question: “How many bars should a good pressure washer have? However, this simple question is not so easy to answer. Karcher’s range of home pressure washers varies to quite an extent, going from basic and budget-friendly to top-of-the-line and high-tech, which is where the Karcher K7 Premium Smart Control Home Pressure Washer sits. The pressure washer’s 8 m hose is a reasonable length, compensating for the heavier 16 kg weight of the washer. Although it’s heavier than some models, the hose length means it doesn’t need to be moved frequently mid-job. With a sturdy base, there’s also less chance of the RX525 pressure washer toppling over compared to lighter machines.

It looks and feels the part too – with a telescopic handle and dedicated areas to clip in the attachments, both moving and storing this machine is easy. At 12.9kg , it’s sturdy enough to stay upright while it’s in use, although the 10m hose saves you from having to move it around much. The only downside was that the hose easily kinks. It may be steel-reinforced, but you’ll still need to be careful with it to prevent it from splitting. Since not all manufacturers state the working pressure and this is often only stated for higher-quality pressure washers, we have decided to show only the maximum pressure in our tables. Otherwise, the professional devices would perform superficially worse in comparison to the cheaper models. Pressure regulation, the most important feature in a powerful pressure washer A longer hose allows for greater reach, making it easier to clean large areas or hard-to-reach spots. However, managing a long hose can be challenging, and having a reel to keep the hose under control when not fully extended is essential. Proper maintenance and storage of your pressure washer are crucial for ensuring its longevity and performance. Regular maintenance tasks include:

For a powerful pressure washer at a reasonable price, the Wilks-USA RX550i Electric Pressure Washer is one of the best pressure washers to consider. It’s up there with the most powerful washers, yet doesn’t cost quite as much. Different nozzles are designed for specific cleaning tasks, and it’s essential to choose the right one for your cleaning job. Maintenance and Storage Portability: As we often have to move pressure washers from place to place, we tested the portability and weight of each model. Models below 10 kg were rated as particularly portable. Any model exceeding 15 kg was considered too heavy for the average user to easily move around. If a model was on the heavier side, we looked for other features to improve portability, like wheels or good-quality handles. The Bosch EasyAquatak 120 is powerful yet compact, owning a niche in the market as a very lightweight pressure washer. As you can imagine, this means that the pressure washer performs exceptionally well. With that amount of pressure, there’s nothing around the average home and garden that this machine wouldn’t be able to clean, especially with the addition of the boost function to give you an extra 15 bar of pressure. The Plug n Clean detergent system worked impressively well too – the convenience of being able to slot a shampoo bottle in rather than having to fill (and refill) a separate container helps to get the job done much more efficiently.

Its pressure range is 20-180 bar, with its maximum being higher than most other home pressure washers The maximum pressure of a pressure washer indicates the maximum pressure the unit can reach. For example, if the water flow is interrupted, a high pressure can build up in the unit for a short time. This is then calculated or measured and is output as the maximum pressure. Offering 155 bars of continuous pressure, it isn’t quite as strong as the Kärcher K7 pressure washer (which works at 160 bars), but it comes pretty close. For this reason it’s well suited to domestic use.Therefore, we have compiled a table for you where you can find our recommendations for the delivery rate in relation to the pressure. Here, the more delivery capacity available, the better it is. Recommended combinations bar / l/h Pressure (bar) Included with the E160 is a MultiPurpose trigger gun & lance, which adapts to the cleaning task in hand. The trigger gun can be used with the lance for increased reach, or on its own as a stubby gun for improved control & close-up cleaning. The MultiPurpose lance will feature a built-in MultiPurpose nozzle, allowing you to choose from one of three preset outputs depending on your cleaning task. A short range nozzle is also included & is ideal for delicate, close-up washing. While some may find this pressure washer to be on the heavy side (it officially weighs 17.76kg, but feels heavier when there’s water running through it), this gives it great stability when it’s in use – there’s no chance of it falling over and scratching your car! That said, when you do need to move it, the telescopic handle and sturdy wheels make manoeuvring this machine feel almost effortless.
